HOUSE OF SHAMAN

us.JPG (95359 bytes)Some of you may know us. Some of you may not. For those of you who don't, please do not judge us.

For those of you who know us and we have grown to be friends, thank you for supporting us. We value you and our friendship.

We are Shaman (Daddy Jeff) and Domina DeManda (Keiki). We have been together since 1997 and married since 2000. We are partners, co-parents, and co-heads of our family.

We also co-head a healthy and loving Household Family that practices alternative lifestyles, which Shaman founded in 1999. Our Household is based on our principles of Dominance and submission Power Exchange that may involve the Fetishes and Kinks we enjoy (individually and as a couple). We have multiple loving relationships with family members, some of which further explore Leather Culture and Polyamory (primarily non-sexually based).

In 2004, and at the prompting (and gentle nudging) of our beloved sister, Viola Johnson, as well as those whom we respect as Mentors, we opened our relationship to others from our Household whom we had grown to trust and love.

We did so with the intent to provide them with opportunities to learn and experience how Power Exchange, Dominance and submission, Leather Culture, and Polyamory works in how we live and love. Our hope is that our Household has more opportunities to learn and experience the various Fetishes and Kinks that they have interests in and we enjoy.

Opening an alternative lifestyle household is a big step for anyone. It certainly was a very BIG step for us and it continues to be life enhancing, but not without risks. Because of the risks involved, we must be cautious and astute as heads of the household, alternative lifestylists, and polyamorists.

The truth is, we may move too slowly for some of those who are excited and "ready to go" in their explorations. But, it is "the excitement" that can trip people up and is what makes it imperative for us to proceed slowly and with caution, not to mention thoughtful contemplation and kind consideration at all times so as not to avoid any potential pitfalls.

We do not want to discourage anyone from anything they look to learn about and experience. We simply do not want them to move so fast that they don't enjoy the various destinations along the way or find disappointment by having unrealistic expectations.

By no means is our way of living and loving alternatively or playing with Fetishes and Kinks the only way to do so. It is "our way" and what works for us.

For us, love within the household is not about erotic/sexual encounters or "falling in love". We are not looking for either because we have each other. It is about deep connections, energy, and lasting relationships with strong foundations.

That stated, we do have enough "L.O.V.E." for to share with others who are members of our Household.
